permavid; only registered name on the comm is "spider-man"

[remake]

[ The video is up-side down. It's hard to tell, because the guy in the video is also up-side down, sticking to the shiny, windowed side of an office building by his hand and feet. He looks distinctly spider-man themed, but the design is different and so is the voice. He sounds awful young. ]

Okay. Okay. I'm not freaking out but- [ A pause for some quick, audibly shallow breaths. ] -uh. I might be freaking out? Uh. There's- there's someone else living where my house is supposed to be which is really not cool, and I can't figure out what happened to the Triskelion. I'd like to help y'all out but.

If I had- uh, I don't know, directions maybe I could... knock on the door and get you some r-real- some better heroes. I kind of know Nick Fury? Sort of.

And it sounds like you need that. I-I mean, I can stop muggers and stuff, and I guess like The Ringer and Kangaroo (I'm so not making that up, there's a dude that calls himself "Kangaroo"), but this whole-- this whole alternate dimension thing is way over my head and-

[ DOESN'T BELIEVE HIM but it's super nice regardless ]

O-okay. [ breathe, brace yourself for verbal diarrhea walker ] Wow, you're. What are you?

[clement]

I am an Astonian. It is--[a little dismissive wave] It is very far from Earth.

[gently (and always braced)] Is someone coming to meet you?

[remake]

[ nope he's still stuck on that ] How far? Is it in a different Galaxy? [ beat ] Is this your first time on Earth?

Oh- um, yeah.

[clement]

It is in Sector 1, so--yes, some distance from here. [helpfully] Earth is in Sector 2814. [and since this will actually help, he adds] I am as new to Earth as you are to this dimension, yes. There was never a cause for me to spend more than a few days here. But there are many people here like us, and we can face this world together.

[oh good, because it's not like he has a goddamn house or anything practical (though he would probably make Shade take the kid in for a day or so)] I am glad for that. You have met others you recognize, now?
